Young Women's in Excellence

On Wednesday night we had our Young Women's in Excellence. Here are some pictures of the night. Our theme was our Special Garden of Girls, and all the moms chose a flower and gave it to their daughters explaining why they chose it for them, it was simple but the spirit was there and that is the most important part.
Happy Valentines Day! I wished I had access to some cream tablecloths.
A couple of things I would have done differently was more trees with more lights, I just couldn't get a hold of more lights. I wasn't totally happy with the tables - it screamed Valentines day to me. I am finally happy with my calling but sometimes I wish I could go to one of these and be in charge of just the tables. So oh well it wasn't exactly the vision that I was thinking of but thats not really what mattered. So being the totally over anal person that I am - I went home and redid a centerpiece. What I learned was you have to have a lot of flowers in a vase - cut the stems so the bud of the roses peek just over the vase - I used scrapbook paper here and at YWIE we used ribbon - could have saved some money If I would have thought about it. One more thing I learned is table linens can make or break a table setting. The white relief society table cloths just don't cut it - I would rather buy some fabric and make my own, um who has time for that? So this is what I wished they looked like!
